A ruthless CEO awakens bound within a life-sized chess arena, where each move pits his conscience against the lives of those he once manipulated. Forcing him into a silent reckoning where control is no longer his.

SYNOPSIS:

Michael Novak is a high-powered executive defined by ruthless logic and unshakable control, both in the boardroom and at home. But when he’s abducted by a faceless captor and thrust into a deadly game of life-sized chess, the rules of dominance are rewritten.

Each piece on the board represents someone from his past, a family member, a colleague, a friend. With every move, Michael must choose who advances, who falls… and who pays the ultimate price. As the psychological and moral pressure intensifies, the line between strategy and conscience begins to blur.

Trapped in a game where his past misdeeds are weaponized against him, Michael faces an impossible dilemma: preserve his own life or confront the truth he’s spent years burying.

“The Move” is a tense, character-driven psychological thriller exploring power, guilt, and the quiet horror of accountability where the most dangerous opponent isn't across the board, but buried deep within.
